In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast hosted by Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, Cheryl Hung, vice president of ecosystem, CNCF, discusses CNCF’s the Technology Radar’s role in software development today.

In many ways, the Technology Radar can “show reality,” Hung said. And in doing that, the purpose is to show and distinguish between what is important and what is just hype.

“We are obviously all really interested in new projects, new tools and the new products that are coming out, but the question has always been is anyone actually using this?,” Hung said. “Is it real or is it hype that’s going to fade away in a few months or a few years? So, that was really my motivation behind this new report.”
